Grow some muscles? :notsure:

OR, you could use a special tool to grip the regulator that wont scratch it because the tool has a band on it that it made of rubber. I dont know the name of the tool, all I know is that's the kind of stuff it is for.

...Ahh ha, so thats what its called. But Im sure muscled would work too. If you dont have a strap wrench then look into the gym membership mod. Any of the Mt's will tell you it works wonders.

Or if u cant get a strap wrench, get a thick leather belt and some viseGrips. That always works for my feednecks that get stuck.

Maybe alittle dirt or moisture was on the threads the last time you screwed it in.

The reason that mini regs tend to get somewhat tight is if you put a macro fitting on the bottom. When you turn the fitting in and tighten it you are also tightening the mini-reg. Not sure if you did that or not, but that is one reason that they get on there really tight.
